"What a peaceful night…" Naomi thought. "Same night. Same time…" Her dark blue eyes teared up.
"Near! Please no! Near! Let him go!" The tears wouldn't stop falling from her eyes. She was struggling to get out of the man's grips. Her little brother was sitting down his head down with his white hair falling on his eyes , creating a shadow. His tears wouldn't stop either. The girl's eyes widen as her brother's head fell on the ground. "NEAR!" She yelled.
"It's been already 11 years, hasn't it?" Her eyes were filled with sadness. She stood up quickly. "Alright! It's time to work!" She jumped from the roof she stood on.
She walked inside the crowd, searching for someone. A victim to steal from. Her eyes fell on a man with raven black hair. He wore a white hat with brown dots. He had faint shadows under his gray eyes and a fur hat that he wore which was white and had spots on the bottom and along the rim. He wore a black-sleeved yellow hoodie with a jolly roger marked on it on the front of his chest and the sleeves were rolled up. He also sported a pair of jeans with odd markings on both the knee and ankle areas, similar to the ones on his hat, but darker in color, and a pair of dark, pointed shoes. He also sported a pair of small earrings on each ear. He was resting a green nodachi on his shoulder. A white bear was on his right side and two men, both of them wearing a white boiler suit behind him. Her lips turned into a evil smirk. "What a beautiful nodachi… and that necklace…They can be useful." She thought. "I can run in the middle and jump. Easy one. And double price!" She giggled and started running.
She jumped and grabbed the man's necklace and nodachi. She landed successfully and kept on running. The man's pupils got wide and without a thought he chased the woman. The girl looked behind her to see. "Hehehehe. A fast one. Sorry dude." She thought and jumped again. She found a small wall. "Passement." She said and she jumped with her hand supporting her. She had learnt some cool moves these years and they always helped her escape. The man though did the same thing as her. "Dammit!" She cursed under her breath."Straight Under bar." She stepped off with one foot while launching the other and making her way through. "Piece of cake!"
"Oi! You!" Another man yelled.
"Crap! Not them again. Navy soldiers!" She tched and kept on running while being chased by a group of marines and the man whom she stole from. She smiled as she approached the sea. She stepped on the bench and stopped running. Everyone stopped, circling her. "It was wonderful to meet you all. You know how much I love making friends don't you Admiral-san?" She asked. Good thing her face was covered with her black coat.
"You won't get away this time, you Black Burglar!" The admiral yelled.
"It's time to bid you my farewell, gentleman." She smiled and waved at them. She jumped back and fell into the ocean. Her body completely fainting.
"Dammit! " The man cursed.
"Isn't that the Surgeon of Death, Trafalgar Law?" One of the marines said and everyone turned and to look at him. Surprisingly, Bepo showed up and jumped on them and attacked them all along with his 2 crewmates, leaving all the marines unconscious.
"Are you okay, Captain?" Bepo asked.
"Yes , Bepo." Law smirked casually. "And I think…we're going hunting tomorrow morning." He said holding a bracelet in his hands. It had blue stones on it and a silver chain. A smirk played on the man's lips and Bepo could swear his eyes turned red for a moment.
Like a demon's.
"What a beautiful necklace." Naomi stated as she holded the necklace in her hand and admired it's silver chain with the golden jolly roger. "And the nodachi too! I was so lucky today!" She said with her bright eyes shining from happiness. She laid on a rock , her body wet and her clothes sticking on her. She laughed.
"If I sell those then…I'll gain my freedom! And then, after all those years I will be able to laugh from the bottom of my heart!"
Trafalgar Law took off his shirt and stared from the window , the vast blue ocean. Her bracelet still in his hands. "Charming. But no one gets away from me , you should know this Miss." He murmured with a smirk. His nodachi and that necklace were important to him and at the moment he felt empty. Good thing she didn't stole his hat. He looked at her bracelet. "You left a trace unfortunately Miss. You were a good player, but seems like you are going to lose. But most of all… Who are you…?"He wondered.
"Good Morning , Captain!" A cheerful Bepo said.
"Good morning, Bepo." The Surgeon of death replied. "Well shall we?" He asked. His crewmates nodded and they started wandering of the street. Law entered a local bar and started a conversation with the bartender.
"I'm sorry ma'am." Law said.
"Yes, honey?" The bartender said while cleaning a glass, she smiled warmly at Law.
"Do you know the woman who has in her possession this bracelet?" He asked showing it to her.
"It must be Naomi's." The woman said after observing it a little.
"Naomi?" Law asked raising an eye brow.
"Yup! She said her name was that. Strange kid, she lives with Barbara. Heh. "
"I see. Do you know where can I find her? I would like to return it to her."
"She works on a bar near. I'll give it to her if she comes here." She went to take it but he took his hand away.
"I'd like to give it to her myself properly. She was a great help after all." Law smirked. After he asked where the bar was he made his way to leave. "Thanks for your time." He walked off the bar.
"Any time you want love." The bartender smiled warmly. "Weird persons looking for a weird woman."
"Looking good today Naomi!" A tall woman said. Her hair were red as fire and fell to her waist. She was wearing a red dress that fell beautifully on her waist. The woman's name was Barbara. She looked at Naomi who wore a white shirt with a blue skirt and a black jacket. She also wore a black belt and a necklace with a crystal blue tear. Her jet black hair were warped in a ponytail.
"Thanks! It's nice to hear good thing once in awhile!" Naomi smiled.
"Oh don't be so dramatic sweetheart." Barbara winked at her.
"A great actress as always!" She sticked her tongue and winked.
"Haha! Okay! Enough talking let's start working already!" Barbara stood behind the counter and purring the glasses with drinks. "1,2…3! Go!" Barbara said. Naomi quickly took the plate with the drink and started serving.
"Thanks Naomi!"
"Anytime darling!" Naomi smiled and turned to the other. "What would you like?" She asked.
"Sake and you." The man smirked.
"Of course I'll bring you sake but me? I'm not in the menu. Try next time sweetie." She smiled and walked back to the counter. "Sake." She said.
"Comin ' right up Nao-chan!" Barbara smiled.
"Good job today , Naomi!" The boss said as he counted his money.
"Thanks boss." She forced her lips into a smile.
"I'm sorry I was late!" A blond haired girl said as she runned inside.
"Nicky-chan you're late again!" Naomi giggled as she took another disk with the new drinks.
"I'm sorry! I couldn't sleep at night!" Nicky said as she putted her jacket and took the disk Barbara gave her.
"It's always the same Nicky." Barbara said with a sigh.
"It's not my fault!"Nicky said with a smile. When both girls finished they sat together for a smoke. "So why can't you sleep at nights?" Naomi asked, curious.
"It's because of those nightmares." Nicky said sighing and smoke escaped her mouth.
"Nightmares?" Naomi raised an eye brow.
"Yeah. I often see my family get killed before my eyes. Creepy huh?"
"Hmm…."
"Don't tell me you have the same nightmares?" Nicky asked raising an eye brow.
"Ehh sometimes." She shrugged.
"Oh I see."
"Oi Nicky. Go serve that pretty boy other there." Barbara whispered to Nicky. Nicky looked back and smiled. "With pleasure." She said and took the disk. Naomi raised an eye brow and looked to Nicky's direction from the corner of her eye. Her eyes widen in surprise. "No way in hell! How?" She thought. It was the man from yesterday. A small smirk played on his lips and she could feel his eyes were on her. Her heart beated fast. What would she do now? There was no water to escape nor a wall to jump on. She hid her face in her palms.
"What's wrong darling?" Barbara asked concerned as she looked at the sad girl.
"Nothing at all! " She smiled quickly. She had learnt all these years how to cover her feelings. "So what's up? Another order?" She asked.
"Boss talks with that man." Nicky said as she settled down.
"Hmph." Naomi shrugged again, pretending she didn't care.
"I could never believe The Surgeon Of Death could be so handsome!" Nicky whispered.
"T-That guy is….SHIT!" Naomi's eyes widen again. "I had to be more carefull! If that guy Is truly him…I'm doomed!" She thought and took a sip from her smoke, trying to calm down.
"Oi Nao. Come here." She heard her bosses rough and deep voice. She groaned and took another sip to finish her smoke. She walked to wards her boss who sat with the Surgeon Of Death. "How can I help you?" She asked with her hand resting on her hip and a smirk on her lips. She had to feel confident. "I was wearing a coat back then… He haven't seen my face because of that. But…this guy must be smart. He wouldn't be fooled right? Let's not thing the worse." She thought.
"Oi Naomi! Are you listening to me?" Her boss said.
"Huh? Oh I'm sorry. I had my mind somewhere else." She smiled.
"Consecrate a bit kid. "
"Yes, sir." She rolled her eyes. "So what do you want already?" She asked.
"Pack your stuff."
"And why's that?"
"You'll be working for Mr. Trafalgar from now on."
"HUH!?" Her pupils widen for a moment. She looked from the corner of her eye, watching Law who bitted his lip like he was ready to burst out laughing.
"I see." She answered with a sigh.
"You won't resist?" Her ex-boss asked.
"Why should I? You were the one who said I should be open to what life brings me. That's what Near used to say too."
"Sharararara! Near was a nice boy!" Naomi nodded.
"I suppose you want back your nodachi and necklace right? " She said turning her gaze to the surgeon of death. He nodded smirking. "Then I shall give them to you. " She said. The man played her game and won and that got on her nerves.
